Recombinant Mouse Cardiotrophin-1/CT-1 Protein

This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 degrees C, but should be kept at -20 degrees C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is most stable at -20 to -80 degrees C, and can be stored for one week at 2-8 degrees C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 degrees C to -80 degrees C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Cardiotrophin1 (CT1) is a member of the cytokine family which also includes IL6, IL11, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), oncostatin M (OSM), and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF). CT1 is a pleiotropic cytokine which is expressed in various tissues including the adult heart, skeletal muscle, ovary, colon, prostate and fetal lung. In addition, CT1 which induces cardiac myocyte hypertrophy in vitro can bind to and activate the ILST/gp130 receptor. Murine CT1 encodes a 203 amino acid (a.a.) residue protein that lacks a hydrophobic signal peptide. Human and murine CT1 share 80 % a.a. sequence identity and exhibit crossspecies activity.
